Bill of Lading Services

NVOCC CLUB provides members with transport documents and related materials for use in international freight transportation.

Main Features

  1. The transport document is issued in the form of a Received Bill of Lading. By adding the vessel name, port of loading and an on-board notation showing the date of shipment, it may be used in the form of a Shipped Bill of Lading.
  2. Although the document is titled as a multimodal transport document, its terms also provide for transportation performed solely on a Port-to-Port basis.
  3. The terms and conditions cover the statutory particulars required under Japan's Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, which is based on the Hague-Visby Rules.
  4. The carrier's limitation of liability is stipulated as 666.67 SDR per package or 2 SDR per kilogram, whichever is higher. For loss of or damage to cargo occurring during air transportation as part of multimodal transportation, the terms specify a limitation of 19 SDR per kilogram.
  5. The terms concerning the route and scope of the voyage define a deviation made for reasonable cause as not constituting an improper deviation. The wording also distinguishes the carrier's liability insurance from cargo marine insurance arranged by the cargo interest and is intended to allow continuation of cargo insurance coverage in accordance with the relevant deviation provisions.
  6. A Paramount Clause and a U.S. Clause are incorporated so that the document may also be used for transportation to the United States.
  7. Whether a governing-law clause or jurisdiction clause will be upheld ultimately depends on the court in the country where proceedings are brought. The terms therefore provide for Japanese law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court in anticipation of disputes concerning jurisdiction.
